Let’s be honest: the romance in period dramas is reliably great, but the fashion is rarely relatable or easily imitated.
takes a decidedly different approach toward depicting fits of yesteryear. The film’s costume designer, Emma Fryer, says she was interested in a “fresher” visual interpretation of Lawrence’s enduring heroine. Fryer looked to a number of contemporary brands and inspirations, including Needle & Thread and Zimmermann, to outfit Connie Chatterley . The result of using buzzy contemporary brands for a period drama is an intriguing and occasionally off-kilter today-meets-yesterday aesthetic.
As a woman who reads James Joyce, speaks her mind, and prioritises sexual fulfilment, Lady Chatterley feels like a modern woman. So Fryer decided it made sense to dress her with contemporary sensibilities. Connie dons a variety of bias-cut dresses and skirts in gem-colored velvets, silks, and chenille that could be found on Net-a-Porter and The RealReal. In one scene, the character wears an electric-blue-hued dress boldly accessorized with a hot pink sash.
